The Springfield News-Sun reports Cincinnati Bengals CB Rashad Bauman has been granted a leave of absence from the team so he can tend to a family matter. Head coach Marvin Lewis said Bauman is in Virginia and expected to meet up with the team at their hotel in Washington D.C. where they will be staying for this weekend's preseason game.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced they have offered a one-year tender to restricted free agent CB Rashad Bauman. The Bengals have the right to match any offer Bauman receives and would be compensated with a draft choice commensurate to the round Bauman was drafted in (third round) should they decline to match.
